Our second kiss felt like a fairytale moment, a fleeting glimpse into a world of endless possibilities. But as the morning sun illuminated the campsite, reality came crashing down around me.
Lara and I awoke to find Jess and Main's belongings being packed up, the air thick with an impending sense of departure.
Confusion gripped me as I approached Main, my voice tinged with sadness. "What's happening? You're not leaving for another two days, right?"
Main's response hit me like a wave of cold water. "We have to leave early, but don't worry. You have my number. Text me, and we'll find a way to see each other soon," he reassured me.
Despite his attempts to offer solace, the looming departure left me hollow, yearning for more time together.
As they prepared to leave, a sense of loss washed over me. I felt powerless, unable to halt the relentless march of time. With a heavy heart, I watched them go, the weight of their absence settling in the pit of my stomach.

The day blurred into a haze of grief and numbness. Even Lara's efforts to lift my spirits fell short against the weight of my sorrow.
A message from Main popped up on my phone: "I'm sorry we had to say goodbye so suddenly."
Another followed: "Already missing you. We'll find a way to see each other—I promise."
I read the messages as I made my way to the beach, but I couldn't find the strength to reply. Reality had shattered the illusion of our holiday romance, leaving me adrift in a sea of uncertainty.
Sitting on the sand, the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed the tumult within me. I allowed myself to feel the pain and disappointment, acknowledging the harsh truth of our parting.
But amidst the waves of sadness, a flicker of resolve ignited within me. I couldn't change the circumstances, but I could choose how to face them.
Taking a deep breath, I made a conscious decision to embrace the present and let go of what could have been. Our time together, though brief, had left an indelible mark on my heart.
With renewed determination, I rose from the sand and returned to the campsite. It was time to accept the reality of our goodbye and embark on the journey ahead, trusting that our paths might cross again someday.
